Chainsaw Man chapter 212 will be available to read for free on Shueisha's MANGA Plus and VIZ Media's Shonen Jump. This is because the series's first three and the latest three chapters are free to read on most of these platforms. Meanwhile, the remaining chapters are hidden behind a paywall.

The only exception is the MANGA Plus application, where fans can read all Chainsaw Man chapters for free. However, only the first three and the latest three can be read multiple times, while the rest get locked behind a paywall after one view. Fans will need to purchase a premium membership to read them again.

Chainsaw Man chapter 211 recap

Chainsaw Man chapter 211, titled War, Panties, Chainsaw, saw Li'l D explain to Denji that she wasn't the Famine Devil Fami but the Death Devil Li'l D. Soon after, she explained to him that, while he was unconscious, War Devil Yoru was hunting Devil Hunters and creating a devil army. She wished to turn Denji into a weapon and kill Death Devil, leading the world into a never-ending World War II.

While Li'l D's story made sense, Denji refused to believe it, as he could not accept that she was the real Death Devil. That's when Miri Sugo suggested Li'l D reveal her slit-open belly to Denji. Li'l D immediately complied and raised her uniform to reveal her belly. As expected, Denji did not care about her belly and ogled at her, only to agree to trust her.

What to expect from Chainsaw Man chapter 212?

Chainsaw Man chapter 212 will most likely see Li'l D and Miri Sugo reveal their plan to Denji. With War Devil Yoru creating her devil army, they did not have much time. Hence, they needed to act quickly and work towards taking down Yoru.

But amidst this, there is a chance that Denji may be opposed to hiring Asa Mitaka and propose an alternate plan. Given the manga's recent developments, where Denji was prepared to sacrifice himself, the plan could involve a similar development.
